Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone would recommend a PS in NY that specializes in scar revisions and rhinoplastys. I was born with a unilateral cleft lip and have a very noticeable scar and an assymetrical nose. I am 23 and am getting married in 2 years and I would really like to "fix" the way I look. Its not even that I think everything about me is ugly, but I feel like the left side of my face (the side of the cleft) is completely unattractive. I like the way the right side of my face looks and would really just like my face and my features to be symmetrical.
So, does anyone have any suggestions on surgeons?

Thank you and I am sorry for rambling!

Thank you for responding! I have looked there and there are a ton of surgeons that are on the list that they provide. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if they have, who they went to see. A few of the doctors they recommended that I thought may be good were Dr.Bellin (NYC), Dr.Lucie Capek (Latham, Ny), Dr. Elliot Rose (NYC), Dr.Michael Sachs (NYC), Dr. Noonan (Albany, Ny), and Dr.Mark Smith (NYC). I know that, that is a lot of surgeons.....has anyone had any experiences with them...good or bad?

Thanks :wave:
Liz
